Valentine Raspberry Mini- Cheesecakes

Wanting to come up with a Valentine dessert that wouldn't be too many calories, I found this recipe on the Internet.

RECIPE:

I used Valentine paper cupcake liners. Silver cupcake liners would work well too.

3 T. raspberry syrup(used for coffee drinks)

2-8oz. blocks of cream cheese, softened

1/2 c. sugar

2 eggs

12 Oreos

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Makes 12 mini cheesecakes.

Beat cream cheese, sugar and syrup until blended. Add eggs, one at a time.

Place one Oreo on the bottom of a foil muffin cup. Cover with batter. Bake for 20 minutes or until center is set. Cool, and refrigerate.

To plate your dessert first, drizzle chocolate syrup in squiggly lines all over plate. Place a mini-cheesecake in the center of the cake. Add a dollop of whipping cream on top of the middle of the cheesecake. Place one raspberry on top.

About Me

My name is Lora. I come from a large(10 children)family that growing up gave me lots of love and stability.
I am a stay at home, retired special education teacher that hails from Illinois. After marrying late in life(40), my husband and I moved 5 times. The adventures to new cities gave me an opportunity to meet new people, discover new places and find new junking haunts.
I love to recycle anything that can be used in our home. Instead of creating bulletin boards for a classroom, I now create vignettes in my home for every season. I love to upcycle found objects for friends, family, and school fundraising auctions.
I love to keep a very cozy home for my husband, and two beautiful girls.
I am amazed and truly blessed by God to create every day. When I sit down to work on a project, many times I don't have a planned outcome. Through Him, projects come to life again. Life is good.
I hope that through reading this blog, I can pass on ideas that will help inspire someone else to make their life a bit more beautiful.
